European Strategic Energy Technology Plan
The European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan) is a key stepping-stone to boost the transition towards a climate neutral energy system through the development of low-carbon technologies in a fast and cost-competitive way.
By improving new technologies and bringing down costs through coordinated national research efforts, the SET Plan helps promote cooperation among EU countries, companies and research institutions, and in so doing also deliver on the key objectives of the energy union.
The SET Plan consists of the:

The SET Plan consists of the:
- Steering Group
- ETIPs: European Technology and Innovation Platforms
- EERA: European Energy Research Alliance
- SETIS: SET Plan Information System
Key action areas
Ten actions are identified for research and innovation purposes and they are gathered in the so-called integrated SET Plan.
The actions addresses the whole innovation chain, from research to market uptake, and tackles both financing and regulatory framework. To ensure an effective interaction with all partners, the plan has an overall governance structure for measuring key performance indicators (KPIs), including level of investment or cost reductions.
The 10 key actions are:
- integrating renewable technologies in the energy systems
- reducing costs of technologies
- new technologies and services for consumers
- resilience and security of energy systems
- new materials and technologies for buildings
- energy efficiency for industry
- competitiveness in global battery sector and e-mobility
- renewable fuels and bioenergy
- carbon capture and storage
- nuclear safety
